A historic Catholic church in West Virginia burned to the ground this weekend, and police are now investigating the incident as arson.
St. Colman Catholic Church was already a smoldering ruin when firefighters from the Beaver Volunteer Fire Department arrived to the scene Sunday morning. The church was built in 1878 and was declared an official historical site in 1984.
Authorities have not released information about potential suspects.
Police encouraged anyone with information about the arson to contact Trooper D. Daniels at (304) 256-6700, the WV State Fire Marshal’s Arson Hotline at 1 (800) 233-3473 or Crime Stoppers of Raleigh County at 304-255-STOP or crimestopperswv.com.

The church, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places since it was built in 1877 was not regularly used. The Diocese is truly grateful for the response of so many fire departments in the area, but the little church burned quickly and nothing can be saved.
Needless to say, the authorities will not make any arrests.
Just a year ago a guy was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison for “planning to bomb a synagogue”. Meanwhile, actual arsonists and bombers of churches are allowed to slip quietly away.
Remember when the leftists were are all riled up over alleged “white supremacists” burning black churches?
I guess that anger doesn’t apply to white liberals burning white churches.
Exactly what the anti-life folks said last week: “Rural areas” will be targets because emergency personnel can’t respond quickly enough.
“Terrorism”
👆
Not a hate crime.
Not terrorism.
Just arson, plain and simple.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
I would think, with the threat churches & pro-life groups are under, that they’d have arranged for 24/7 security. Even if parishioners have to pull shifts. Such a shame.
no quarter...
BLACK FLAG !
I hope someone is keeping count of attacks on churches and pregnancy centers, etc. The corporate media will bury this, but we need to spread the word far and wide so people understand the “love” pro-abortion folks are always claiming to be motivated by is really demonic hate.
None asked.
None given.
Imagine how different the news would be if this was an historic black church burned down.
100%
Statues, buildings names and buildings themselves,. Leftists destroy everything they despise.
People next.
Mostly peaceful arson and terrorism. /CNN
(Statues, buildings names and buildings themselves,. Leftists destroy everything they despise.)
Cue ‘1984’ quote.
Yesterday’s fiction, now today’s reality.
